“It gives the prosecutor the power to indict in the District of Columbia, which is a district that is heavily Democratic, and would have a jury pool very unfavorable to Trump and the Trump Administration,” said Dershowitz, a Democrat who has at times defended Trump against what he sees as an overzealous collusion investigation.
“It gives the prosecutor a tremendous tactical advantage,” he continued, asserting that the District of Columbia “is always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump Administration.”
“So I see the significance not so much that he impaneled the grand jury – you have to impanel the grand jury to get subpoena power — but where he impaneled it.”

If it’s Northern VA, it is full of Gov’t workers. Ratio maybe a tad lower than DC: 85% D vs 15% R. I’m being generous with that estimate for the Republicans!
You're right.
Trump needs a miracle. All the forces of deep state and D.C. are triggered on him and if they can’t remove him then they are just as happy in slowing down his agenda from getting pass with getting him and his staff entangled into the witch-hunt investigation.
VA is only purple because of Northern VA, home of mountains of Federal Govt Employees, who depend on their jobs and high salaries to support their employers (FEDS)!!! They are all part of the SWAMP! They protect one another.
This is a fight for the nation.

And there may come a time to take a stand. We need to take note of any that try to overthrow our elected government and that includes the media.
If they try to hold Trump to a higher standard than they did obama, Hillary, Bill, etc., I hope they all end up buried 6’ under. Enough of the bs.
We don’t have money for our needy here and we pay $22,000+ per year for every one of those pos male muslin cowards that come here.
Is a DOJ special council grand jury confined to a US district court juror pool?
First: the existence of the grand jury is supposed to be secret.
Second: how does Dershowitz know who is in the jury pool?
The existence is supposed to be secret, but it has been all over the news. Obviously, Mueller had it leaked. Did you listen to the news yesterday? Trump’s lawyer said he did not know about it until it was in the news. And as you say, he said it should be secret. It is very disturbing.
He does not know who is in the pool—just that it is in DC, and he can indict in DC, where the demographics are known.
I am still awaiting the grand jury ruling on Obama using the IRS to fight his political opponents.
It only reinforces the appearance that this is a political operation rather than a legal operation.
By law the jury pool must reflect the people in that district. It will be all Dem and all Black.
There was no apparent crime committed in the Comey/Fitzpatrick prosecution of Scooter Libby. They got him on a procedural crime.
Yes.
Johnny Cochran did the jury picking. Doubt if Dershowitz had any role or say in it.
The prosecution did a stinking job esp with the bloody glove. Everyone knows that water or blood will cause the leather to get real tight and shrink so that it would not fit the wearer’s hand as if it were new or contoured to their hand through use.
Both Kardashian and Shapiro looked like they couldn’t believe the verdict. Don’t know what Dershowitz looked like, and Cochran knew that he had done a good job of “racial jury nullification”.
OJ DID IT! End of story!
#8. Alexandria is made up mainly of rich white liberals/Demcorats and poor blacks and Hispanics. Republicans are few and far between.
I know the area very well.
You’re usually pretty sharp :)
Off your game today? :)
Good thing Sessions stepped down /s
CALL THIS thing off!!!! Now!!!
Enough!!!
OR he could just tell Meuller, “you’re fired”
#### if it looks bad.
If it was Hillary being investigated, Mueller would already be dead.
DJT needs to close down this ridiculous special prosecution BS
there was never any evidence of any need for it
and still isn’t
Lack of coffee.
